“Insofar as government authorities do not attempt to assert ecclesiastical authority or issue orders that forbid our obedience to God’s law, their authority is to be obeyed whether we agree with their rulings or not.

NY Planned Parenthood to scrub racist Margaret Sanger’s ‘harmful’ name from abortion center

“It was Margaret Sanger who laid the foundation for today’s liberal social agenda that has left a legacy of anguish, confusion, pain, and death during Planned Parenthood’s century in business.

Lifting Lockdowns Not the Culprit Behind New Surge in Coronavirus Cases, Doctor Says

“They correlate mainly to two things — the big thousands and thousands of people with protesting, sharing megaphones, screaming.

(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media)  Massive protests and proximity to the U.S.-Mexico border explains the recent surge in coronavirus cases far better than lifting lockdowns, Scott Atlas, M.D., a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, told Fox News this weekend…. Continue reading
